Chapter 167: Important Resources
What is the thing on the ground, cotton, although the cotton peach is small, not very large. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But it's really cotton, whether it's spinning, weaving or making quilts, it's completely competent.
If the quality is not enough, the quantity wins, and cotton is planted all over the mountain, and no animal will eat cotton. You don't have to look at it, as long as you prevent bugs.
Yao Ran was in a good mood, and remembered that the game he played included the cotton fields that paid for farming. Yao Ran restrained his smile and held the cotton ball he picked up from the ground. walked back and forth in the council hall.
And Yao Hemu didn't speak at this time, Yao Ran, who was muttering just now, didn't hear it, only heard Yao Hemu say that there are still people who eat cotton, Yao Ran has not heard of eating cotton in the past, and there are people who eat it when there is a famine. It's hard to get rid of it. If you don't get it right, you'll die.
This Yao Hemu himself originally wanted to go to his knighthood and let him reflect on his lack of rigor, but now it seems that it is not easy to handle it when he has both merit and demerit. And this new riverbank village can't just be handed over to Snow River for management.
It's not that Yao Ran is sexist, it's mainly such a branch, which is not managed by trustworthy people, and Yao Ran can't get over it in his heart. Some of his own decrees and plans can only be implemented by those who arrange them themselves. And with long-term contact, Yao Ran can also roughly figure out the way and approximate progress of each person's work.
This Snow River or Xia Solstice, these two people are different, after all, there is still little contact, although they are now merged, but the hearts of people are separated from each other, and before they find out each other's thoughts and personalities, Yao Ran doesn't want to see it again, something like the defection of the golden worm appears.
Yao Hemu watched Yao Ran walk around, sweat already soaking through the shoulders of Pikan on his back. Although he knew that what he took out was approved by Yao Ran, it seemed that the patriarch did not have the idea of offsetting the merits.
And just when Yao Hemu was frightened, Yao Ran also made a decision, Yao Ran walked to the middle of the council hall again, raised the cotton in his hand, and then said, "Give me all that basket." ”
Yao Hemu hurriedly took the basket on the ground, Yao Ran glanced at it, but he didn't remove the seeds, and the cotton seeds were the seeds of cotton.
Cotton relies on its own cotton peach to wrap the seeds, which are carried farther away by other animals or wind, and then take root and sprout to reproduce offspring.
Yao Ran rubbed the cotton in his hand, picked up a ball and quickly kneaded it into a thread-like cotton strip, which was dozens of centimeters long, Yao Ran raised the cotton strip in his hand and showed it to everyone.
After turning around, Yao Ran asked, "Do you know what these things in my hand can do?" Yao Ran's gaze scanned the crowd, expecting an answer.
From the whispering at the beginning to the silence at the end, Xia Zhi thought for a while and said, "Is it using this thing to weave a rope?" "Xia Solstice really can't think of what such a cotton can do? In fact, it is true that cotton has existed for a long time, but the use of cotton began to be cultivated and used on a large scale near the Middle Ages, and before that it had always been the world of mulberry hemp, it was just linen.
Yao Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "It's close!" But no. And at this time, a voice sounded behind Yao Ran, Yao Ran has always been the closest person behind him, and this moment is no exception, Yao Ran's wife group is behind him.
"Is it like braiding the rope and then braiding it into a mat?" Yao Ran's eyes lit up, and he didn't have to look back to listen to the voice to know who it was. Of course, it's Yao Ran's eldest wife Xiaoyu.
followed Yao Ran, the first primitive person to learn to weave nets and fish, a woman with a hard life. She is also a wise woman.
Yao Ran nodded and gritted his teeth and smiled, "That's right, it's still my wife who is smart." After hearing what Yao Ran said to Xiaoyu, he affirmed it.
Everyone's expressions were different, and many people were still understanding Xiaoyu's words. How do you make mats? What's the use of using this thing to weave the mat, it looks very soft.
Yao Ran listened to everyone's discussion and understood that human beings are inertial animals, and it takes external force to break the mindset.
The people who just tried it are the real warriors, like the first person to eat crabs, and the first people to eat tomatoes, and the first people to eat crabs and tomatoes together. Although the person who ate together died. But that also requires the courage of a foodie!
It also takes courage to use cotton for the first time. But with Yao Ran, a leader with encyclopedic knowledge, how can everyone be afraid to try. It has to be used for trial and error, and Yao Ran will not let his people often make mistakes.
Because Yao Ran's current authority is precipitated in the continuous victory, in the happy life of never starving.
Man is an animal that easily forgets his roots, and it is easy to forget the suffering he has suffered after he has eaten and drunk enough. So there was Thanksgiving. But Yao Ran didn't want his people to return to the era of starvation, because what everyone thought was full of food and drink now was still primitive life in Yao Ran's eyes.
It's still far from the extravagant life that Yao Ran wants. The first thing Yao Ran thought of when he saw cotton was a towel, a friend's bath towel, because the meat on this body has nothing to clean is very troublesome.
The soap thing is easy to solve, but Yao Ran didn't think of a proper solution before the towel. It is too fine to use animal hair and uncomfortable to use. It is also easy to breed a lot of bacteria.
The retinal system will occasionally bring Yao Ran some, frightening, for example, a five-hundred-fold microscope. In an instant, I saw that there were such big bacteria around me, and the mites and microorganisms with huge mouthparts instantly had a sense of déjà vu that I had been put into the alien battlefield.
There are many problems that cotton can solve, including the process of making paper. Adding some cotton silk to the paper will also increase the toughness and abrasion resistance of the paper. Including medical use, as well as industrial use are very important raw materials.
Therefore, Yao Ran first introduced the public use of cotton in front of everyone, and the world was also preparing to excuse Yao Hemu. Because Yao Ran was really happy, Yao Hemu's horse was in the right place, and it was very timely.
"It's a very important raw material that can play a lot of roles, such as insulation, cushioning and shock absorption. Make gauze for medical care, disinfectant cotton, etc. Yao Ran patiently explained to the people standing in the conference hall. It's still the same, and it doesn't matter if everyone can understand it or not. Finally, if you have questions, ask yourself.
Only Yao Ran asked Qiu Feng, "Do you understand?" ”
Qiu Feng said: "It's useful to understand, but you have to weave it." Yao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. Well, that's right. (To be continued.) )
